OPUS framework simplifies open-vocabulary detection with strong performance

Researchers have introduced OPUS, a novel unified framework for open-vocabulary detection designed for simplicity and effectiveness. Unlike previous complex systems, OPUS leverages semantic-rich visual representations and scalable grounding supervision. The framework utilizes a DINOv3-ConvNeXt-B backbone and a prompt-aware decoder, trained with a one-stage Instance-level Contrastive Alignment (ICA) strategy and a SAM3-based data engine. Experiments on COCO, LVIS-minival, and ODinW35 datasets demonstrate that OPUS achieves state-of-the-art performance in Visual-I accuracy while maintaining balanced Text and Visual-G accuracy, and enhances mixed prompting capabilities.

    OPUS: A Simple yet Effective Unified Framework for Open-Vocabulary Detection

    arXiv:2608.30247v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent unified open-vocabulary detection (OVD) supports heterogeneous prompts, including text queries, visual exemplars, and their combinations, but often rely on increasingly complex designs such as heavy cross-modal fusion, staged…
